3.5
Fuelled by kinetic energy, we see the concluding passage of this raid against the ghouls, a showdown between key characters, a trace of siblings' past, and forging pathways for the upcoming future. There is excitement to be had in its momentum, with an initial glimpse of our protagonist's new potential. However, Sui Ishida - perhaps for the sake of exposition and perhaps an emotional payoff later - decides to fill further backstories of particular characters, reinforcing the duality of human/ghoul living, but producing very little insight compared to previous discourse.
